    As soon as the Sichuan army appeared in Yichang Prefecture, Tang Xizhi, the commander of the Seventh Town, sent an urgent telegram to the Hubei Governor Li Yuanhong to report the unexpected situation.

    Li Yuanhong was immediately furious after hearing the news. He ordered the Hubei patrol fleet and the Sixth Town Wang Anlan Department stationed in Anlu and De'an to quickly go to support and beware of the Sichuan army going down the river to Hanyang and Wuchang.  Actions that proactively provoke conflicts and undermine the overall peace are strongly condemned, and the Sichuan Army is required to immediately return to its original garrison and compensate for the losses caused to Hubei. Otherwise, the elite troops from eight towns in Hubei will be personally annihilated. Don't say it was unforeseen!

    ¡ª¡ªOf course, at that time, he didn¡¯t know that the so-called ¡°Eight Towns of Elite Soldiers¡± would soon be reduced to one town.

    As we all know, Sichuan Governor Jiang Zhiqing was a direct descendant of Sun Yuanqi. Without Sun Yuanqi's order, he would never have taken the initiative to send troops eastward.  This high-profile appearance of the Sichuan Army not only partially bankrupted Sun Yuanqi's strategy of resurrecting corpses, but also pushed Sun Yuanqi to the forefront of public opinion.

    The day after Li Yuanhong issued the power, Sichuan, under the instruction of Sun Yuanqi, also sent power to the whole country, stating that the main purpose of sending troops to Hubei was to mediate the conflicts between Ji Yulin, Tang Xizhi, Zhang Guoquan, and Fang Wei, and avoid the tragedy of brothers fighting against each other.  .  Once things go wrong here, the Sichuan army will take the initiative to withdraw.  In addition, the Sichuan Governor's Office and the Sichuan Provincial Council, on behalf of the 50 million people in the province, expressed strong indignation at Li Yuanhong's murder of Zhang Zhenwu, the first revolutionary hero, and urged Li Yuanhong to voluntarily resign as vice president and Hubei Governor to give an explanation to the people of the country.

    Shortly after the Sichuan power transmission was released, four people including Shaanxi Governor Zhao Jingxing, Shanxi Governor Yan Xishan, Gansu Governor Zhang Shiying, and Xinjiang Governor Yang Zengxin also jointly issued a power transmission, requesting the Presidential Office, the State Council, and the Senate to thoroughly investigate the Zhang Zhenwu case as soon as possible and return the revolutionary heroes to  clean.

    Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is Sun Yuanqi's attempt to force Li Yuanhong into the palace!

    Before Li Yuanhong had time to call back and start a quarrel, he received the news that Ji Yulin had surrendered and the Eighth Town had been wiped out.  As a result, the three prefectures of Yunyang, Xiangyang, and Yichang were connected together; Shinan Prefecture, located between Yichang Prefecture and Sichuan Province, became an enclave, and surrender would be a matter of time.  Almost in the blink of an eye, Hubei lost one-third of its land. Li Yuanhong was so angry that he slammed the table in the Governor's Mansion and cursed, "Ji Liangxuan mistaken me! Ji Liangxuan mistaken me!"

    After Fang Wei regained Xiangyang, he re-established the Xiangyang Military and Government Branch and elected Ji Yulin, the former commander of the Eighth Town, as the director of the Military and Government Branch and appointed himself as the branch commander.  A total of 18,000 people including the Hubei Provincial General School Regiment, the Military Command and Guards, the Eighth Town of the Hubei Army, the remnants of the original Zhang Guoquan's army, and the Shaanxi Army coming to aid under his command were organized into a division in accordance with the latest "Regulations on the Peacetime Establishment of the Army" promulgated by the Ministry of the Army.  Another mixed brigade.

    The division is the First Division of the Hubei Army. The position of division commander is concurrently held by Fang Wei, and the deputy division commander is Zhang Fenghui.  Under the jurisdiction of the first brigade, the brigade commander is Que Long, the former commander of the 15th Association of the Hubei Army, stationed in Yunyang Prefecture; the second brigade, the brigade commander is Fan Zhigan, the former commander of the 16th Association of the Hubei Army, stationed in Xiangyang Prefecture.

    The brigade is the first mixed brigade of the Hubei Army. The brigade commander is Zhang Guoquan, the former commander of the Xiangyang Military and Government Branch.  Of course, he is just a puppet, and the main affairs are entirely handled by deputy brigade commander Jiang Zuobin.  The mixed brigade has a total of 7,000 people. The soldiers are mainly composed of the Hubei-Shaanxi Army and the Military Command Guards, and have the strongest combat effectiveness.  After the reorganization was completed, they quickly marched towards Jingmen Prefecture, which was guarded only by the Hubei Army, and tried to occupy more territory before the arrival of the Sixth Town Wang Anlan's troops.

    At this time, the struggle within the Beijing Senate also entered a fever pitch.

    Because of Li Yuanhong's military defeat, Fang Wei's support for independence in western Hubei, and the strong support of the New China Party, Republican congressmen became emboldened at the Senate meeting and repeatedly asked Li Yuanhong to go north and accept questioning in person in the Senate.  Although the New China Party is not that excited emotionally, its attitude is very firm, that is, Li Yuanhong must immediately resign as vice president and governor of Hubei.

    Under pressure from the Senate, Li Yuanhong had to correct his attitude and sent a long telegram from Hubei to explain the causes and consequences of Zhang Zhenwu's case, and asked Army Chief Duan Qirui to accept questions from members of the Senate on his behalf.

    On August 21, the Senate held its first formal defense on the Zhang Zhenwu case.

    Journalists from all walks of life gathered outside the Senate door early in the morning. Members of the Republican Party and the New China Party were gearing up to show Duan Qirui¡¯s prowess.  The members of the Tongmenghui and the United Republican Party looked like they were sitting back and watching the fight between tigers and tigers, as if they were here to hear a wonderful show. Of course, they did not rule out the possibility of secretly stumbling upon them.

    Speaker Wu Jinglian felt unprecedented pressure, fearing that the farce of Shen Baoxu crying about Qin Ting and Sun Dasheng making trouble would happen again. At the beginning of the meeting, he solemnly declared: "This time, Mr. Duan Zhiquan, Chief of Army, was entrusted by Vice President Mr. Li Songqing to come to the Senate.  Accepting questions from members is the first step since the establishment of our SenateJust take action?  "

    Duan Qirui said: "Zhang Chunshan has a great reputation in Hubei and has many subordinates, so he may cause trouble. We have no choice but to implement this strategy to slow down the army."

    Li Zhaofu asked again: "If this is really the case, why does the telegram from Vice President Li not mention a military court conference at all, nor does the president's official reply or announcement mention it?"

    Duan Qirui was a little flustered: "This -"

    Li Zhaofu then asked: "Is there such a strange rule in the military law of the Republic of China that a military law conference is held in Wuchang and executions are carried out in Beijing?"

    Duan Qirui wiped his sweat and said, "Congressman, you should understand the principle of obeying power in emergencies, right? At that time, the president and vice president had to take this temporary measure based on the premise of national security.  , although there are some mistakes in the procedures, the intentions and results are all out of sincerity and kindness. Why do you have to be so picky? If there is really any responsibility, Duan, as the commander-in-chief of the army, cannot escape the blame, and I am willing to take full responsibility for all the crimes.  Take responsibility!"
